Here's a few options, all for 2012.
TMI should try picking a set of three mid-week days in June or July of 2012, one day using the big course, the other two using the smaller course. With over a year to go and a better, summertime date, more people may make a deposit.
Make it a shorter event, one or two days on-track at VIR so it's not as big of a block of time for which TMI would be on the hook. Set one day at the track, then a touring day, and then a skills / autocross day. It's still a three-day event, but only one expensive trackday commitment.
Support a "Grand Tour". Sponsor one or two track days at tracks outside, but within a day of VIR. People coming in could do Track A, convoy to VIR for the two- or three-day, simplified event, then convoy to Track B. If it's close enough, TMI could have their transporter presence at all events so it's like a traveling trackday party over a six-day period.
It doesn't have to be a full-on, three-day, full-VIR-course event to work, as long as it's at a good time of year.
